Static Page problems

Ianardo · Post by **Ianardo** » Thu May 17, 2007 11:44 am

I've just downloaded the new Static Page plugin and it doesn't work.
Firstly Spartacus failed in downloading it so I had to download manualy.

Now there's no 'Static Pages' menu item on the Admin Sidebar!
It doesn't even show up under the Event Plugins list!
It's definitely in my plugins folder.

Help! The website relies totally on Static Pages.

Is there a known bug in this plugin or have I missed something?

I just downloaded Static Page List from : http://spartacus.s9y.org/cvs/additional ... icpage.zip

Uploaded the .zip file to 'plugins' and extracted it.

Then it was available and I could install it from the 'Serendipity Administration Suite' / 'Configure Plugins' / 'Click here to install a new sidebar plugin'.

Now it show up in on the overview list of installed sidebar plugins, and it is visible on the web blog.

BUT !!!

It only contain a link to 'Frontpage', how do I add (and configure) more pages ??

In the description it mention 'It requires StaticPage plugin version 1.22 or greater.' What is that ?? And where to get it ??

I've got the feeling, that it could be the Permalink which need to be changed / specified ??

Or, do I need to create the html-page manually, or are Serendipity supposed to create it ??

Found the issue:
Language need to be set to 'All languages'.

Hi!

Can you make ascreenshot of the staticpages you created, what you entered in the various fields there? Might be that one of them is problematic.

HTH,

I think I have tried almost all settings now, and I can't get it to work.
The url changes in the address bar, but the page show the frontpage content.
Very strange.
I really hope that someone can help me.
Do I need to setup something manually (i.e. hack some of the html/php files bypassing Serendipity?).

Hi!

In the permalink for staticpages you need to enter a HTTP PATH, not a URL!

So strip the "http://www.hydraulisktidende.dk" from the Path, so that it begins with "/". Then it should work. This should be entered there by default, so you must have mistakenly added the 'http://...' in front of it. If you change s9y configuration directives, always make sure that the format of your new option is like the old default option there.

If you use the fallback URL you already can see your staticpage:

http://www.hydraulisktidende.dk/index.p ... Abonnement

So once you fix the permalink path properly, you'll see your page properly.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hm, I guess I'm a bit blond atm... but I can't get it to work.

My Blog URL is

Code: Select all

http://localhost/serendipity/index.php

I managed to view my contact page (contact form plugin) at

Code: Select all

http://localhost/serendipity/index.php?/pages/kontakt.html

The page URL in the contact form plugin is

Code: Select all

/serendipity/index.php?/pages/kontakt.html

and in the navigation the URL is defined as

Code: Select all

index.php?/pages/kontakt.html

So, far.. so good.
Now I'm trying to do the same for an imprint page (per static pages), but I can't get it to work -.-
Either the URL is not found or I only see the start page...

So, how do I have to enter the URLs in the static page entry and the navigation to view my imprint page?

Hi jumar!

You gave great examples for the contactform plugin, which works for you. But you forgot to tell us how you configured the staticpage which doesn't show.

Best regards,
Garvin
